What Ted seems to ignore is that Ubuntu's company is a barely profitable one so they just can't afford (yet) to have lots of well paid kernel developers. Canonical does not make billions unlike Google and even Red Hat. It was funded by a gu

It says that firefox and webkit browsers fail on border-radius, that's only because they use -webkit-border-radius and -mozilla-border-radius and Microsoft only tested border-radius which is the one supported by IE, not very honnest especia

netmarketshare has biased stats (very US centric). I prefer the wikipedia stats which is a generalist and international site. There, IE is already at 50% http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2010-02/Squ... yay!

Came here to post just that. Both of these books are very old and as such did fall under the public domain a while ago. One of the biggest advantage of ebooks is that you can get public domain books for free. I don't understand why would an

The codec excuse is kind of bogus. Chromium itself comes with a separate package that contain patented codecs. Adobe could easily break down the code into separate parts, the whole open source part and a small codec package containing the p

Actually, theora devs have been asking for the patent pool for a long time so they can work around patents once and for all http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1309412 So this is excellent news for Theora, as it could be an end to the "su

I asked on the Theora mailing list their thoughts on SJ's answer and this is what I got from one of the dev: > (...) A patent pool is being assembled to go after Theora and other “open source” codecs now. > I think that's great news

So a journalist may go to jail for breaking news over a technicality and a law that barely no one knows about and that never gets applies to anyone except when corporations are in the game. Great.

by papachito 16y ago
The law says the finder has to try to contact the owner, he tried and they didn't answer his calls. So he's supposed to just burn the phone or make it magically disappear?

Gruber is taking apple fanboism to the extreme. Wishing some guy would go to jail for a _lost_ iphone, just wow.

Cool. The Facebook Connect button was an atrocity for devs, forcing us to include tons of javascript just to display a button and then the whole fsql and 24h rule. Let's hope this will be better. edit: looks good http://developers.facebook

The download file is a keynote file. Not readable on windows or linux without major pain, thanks Apple for making me feel like in the 90s all over again with your closed file formats.

Are you kidding? There are plenty of quality mp3 players that can actually read free and quality formats such as flac and vorbis. I'd never get an ipod because it doesn't support the formats I use (and lacks an FM tuner last time I checked,

You must be new to the internet, the phone leaked, the story of how it happened leaked, it was only a matter of time before the name of the guy leaked, gizmodo or not, it's obvious that many people knew who it was.

He's comparing KDE and Gnome core components (window management) and the linux kernel with developing iPhone apps. That's a bad comparaison in my opinion. Hacking on an operating system kernel or a window manager requires great skills that
